Jolz has switched WiNGs build construction from „Make“ to „Jam.“ These
systems are both used to control the construction of a multi-filed,
multi-programmed, project. Make used to be responsible for compiling all the
WiNGs components with all the right attributes, and then putting the files all
together into the correct directory structure, and finally zipping it all up for
a single downloadable distribution. But „Make“ had it?s shortcomings and
was not adequate for needs that WiNGs has evolved over the course of its
development. But JAM! does meet those needs. So these past few days the switch
over was made. For developers, this means creating multi-file, .app packaged
programs becomes a lot easier.
